Author Jonathan Gould of "Can't Buy Me Love" Discusses Beatles Early Years

The John Lennon Hour

Hailed by The New York Times and The Guardian in the U.K., author Jonathan Gould is one of the most respected Beatles experts on either shore. His best-selling work, Can't Buy Me Love: The Beatles, Britain, and America, examines The Beatles' music, their biographies, and their historical impact in context of the 1950's and 1960's. In the first of a two-part series, Jude Southerland Kessler, author of The John Lennon Series (http://www.johnlennonseries.com) talks with Gould about his extraordinary research, his belief that America helped to shape the Fab Four, and his belief that Ringo was crucial to the band's success. These subjects and many more from the pages of his award winning work will make any Beatles' fan sit up and take note. Fascinating!
